What are some of your pet peeves?

What are some of the little things people do that bother you when you're at work?

For me it's when people leave the recliners up or stand in the middle of the walkway blocking other people while waiting for post-credits.

"Is there something after the credits?"

Got asked this for The Odyssey, a movie that obviously wouldn't have one because of its source material. And I got asked this for Spider-Man, a movie that obviously WILL have one because it's a Marvel movie.

For christ's sake, just Google it!

Is it normal for ushers to stay late and help the janitors?

For context, for usher closing duties we have cleaning out the closets and tossing out the last of the trash, but recently, ushers have been having to stay late hours after closing time to clear out all the trash outside and inside the auditoriums after late night showings, which end as late as 2 or 3am. A lot of ushers hate this because the night janitors are supposed to do that and we think it's unfair. Especially since a lot of the night janitors laze around. In fact, the reason we're doing this now is because some of the janitors complained about all the late night trash. We already did our usher duties for the day, why do we have to stay behind to do their jobs for them? I have to ask, is this normal for other theaters?

Note, we only have to clear out the trash for the janitors, they still deep clean the building after we leave.

Why are so many people incapable of reading?

I've worked podium before and we have signs posted right next to me telling people that satellites are open, yet people still have to ask me if they're ​open. I've also had times where people ask me which theater they're supposed to go to, and it happens to be the one I'm right next to. I've had people ask me where the bathrooms were, I point to where they were, and there's a bathroom sign over their heads with arrows, and then I watch as the customer goes in the opposite direction of where they are and I have to redirect them. And once when I was cleaning, someone walked into the theater I was in and asked me where theater 4 was, the one we were already in. Just... how are people this bad at reading signs and numbers?

To those who do restrooms

When I'm doing restroom checks, how do I prevent more people from stepping into the restroom I'm about to clean while waiting for people already inside to step out?

What was the worst/most annoying mid/post credits scene you had to wait through while cleaning theaters?

For me, the new Scary Movie. Absolutely obnoxious and the amount of people who stop in the middle of the walkways to watch a Longlegs knockoff hit his head on a table repeatedly.

FINGER LICKIN GOOD

BUT IT'S A MEME!"

I hate how normalized this parasocial behavior is

An actual dm that Ashley Nichols, the voice of Zooble from TADC got. I hate how this type of parasocial behavior is normalized thanks to chuds on Youtube.

What is it with Obsession?

I really hate cleaning up after this movie. Having to put up with Nikki crying over the end credits and people leaving the ugliest messes behind. More messy than Mandalorian.

How is it for you guys?
